Title

[Anti-depressant effect and mechanism of supercritical CO2 extract from Compound Chaigui Fang]

Overall design

In this study, a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabonomics combined with multivariate statistical analysis was performed to explore the mechanism of supercritical CO2 extract from Compound Chaigui Fang (FFCGF). Rats were divided into 7 groups (n = 10 in each group): (1) control group, (2) CUMS group, (3) CUMS + venlafaxine group (stress plus venlafaxine treatment at a dose of 35 mg/kg), (4) CUMS + Xiaoyaosan group (stress plus Xiaoyaosan treatment at a dose of 46 g/kg), (5) CUMS + high dose of FFCGF group (stress plus FFCGF treatment at a dose of 64 g/kg), (6) CUMS + middle dose of FFCGF group (stress plus FFCGF treatment at a dose of 32 g/kg), (7) CUMS + low dose of FFCGF group (stress plus FFCGF treatment at a dose of 16 g/kg). Eight samples per group were used for metabonomic analysis. The CUMS stress procedure lasted for 4 weeks, and drugs were administered during the model building period.
